Grant's position is the result of everyone's analysis, but in reality, for the time being, he is still the head coach of Chelsea, and when he returns to the dressing room, the team will have to follow his arrangements to play.

At the end of the first half 2-0, Chelsea had a good shape, so Grant did not adjust the tactics and lineup, he just told the players to pay attention to defense in the second half and find opportunities to launch defensive counterattacks, which is the best way to deal with a team like Arsenal.

In fact, Grant has his own ideas.

He knew his situation well and understood what Shepchenko meant by what he said - it was almost certain that one of them would leave, and it would be more practical for him to leave than for Shepchenko.

But before leaving, he still has to arrange the game, which is the basic work ethic of a coach.

However, Grant also has some luck, that is, the club will choose him, after all, he has led the team to a lot of achievements, although the media say that it is Zhang Tiehan and Mourinho's defensive credit, but how is it also the results of his coaching and leading the team, he knows that he has done very little, but he is actually very unconvinced.

It seems too late to say anything, but Grant still wants to lead the team to more victories in the final moment, which will also be a bargaining chip for his future coaching career.

Soon the second half began.

As Grant thought, Arsenal besieged Chelsea's half at the beginning of the second half, which felt a bit like the opening of the first half, but at this time Arsenal's attack was more targeted, and the attack was a bit like a posture of ignoring a qiē, which really made Chelsea dare not fight with them for a while, the team has two goal advantages, and there is no need to fight with Arsenal.

So Chelsea had to defend.

Grant's arrangement played a role, and he allowed the team to strengthen their defense. However, Zhang Tiehan is not involved in the defense, he is the team's midfielder, but when the defense counter-attacks, he always stands up to Didier Drogba, and he cruising around the halfway line with Derby, ready to play Arsenal's counter-attack.

The two are still very intimidating.

Arsene Wenger has a headache for Drogba. It was even more of a headache for Zhang Tiehan, so that the two players were at the forefront, and Arsenal's attack was afraid of making mistakes to allow Chelsea to find opportunities, but their attack was affected a lot, and in the first ten minutes of the second half, successive attacks failed to score.

And their fears were soon fulfilled.

It was in the 57th minute of the game that poor Cesc Fabregas was stopped again, and Zhang Tiehan was caught in the middle of the box with Frank Lampard before dropping back into the box. Fabregas had no choice but to hand over the ball against the two big stars before Chelsea launched a counter-attack.

Zhang Tiehan crossed the halfway line with the ball, glanced forward, and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.

Drogba, who was at the front, received a pass to surpass Senderos, and instantly sent the ball directly into the Arsenal gate with a volley, and goalkeeper Lehmann didn't have time to react at all.

This goal also rewrote the score to 3:0. There is basically no suspense in the game.

Then after some time, Grant replaced Zhang Tiehan from the field. This is basically the same as declaring victory more assured, but Arsenal are still on the attack, and although they are three goals down, there is still a lot of time left and they still want to struggle.

But in the end, they only scored one goal.

It was in the 83rd minute of the game that Cesc Fabregas had created a good chance with a diagonal pass to Bam Adebayor. The latter crossed from the left side of the box to the middle of the box, and midfielder Gilberto Silva followed up with a volley to save face for Arsenal.

That's the end of the game.

The final result was also 3-1, with Chelsea winning at home to Arsenal.

After the game, a lot of media reported the game, but Chelsea's win over Arsenal was not big news, and if it were the other way around, Arsenal won against Chelsea. The media will report that there will be nothing to report if Chelsea win, and they will only express their sighs and sympathies for Arsenal's plight, and nothing else.

As for what Wenger said before the game, it has long been subconsciously forgotten by the media, after all, everyone, including media reporters, is actually sympathetic to the weak, and it is obvious that compared with Chelsea, Arsenal is a weakling.

The pre-match media coverage of Chelsea is still about the conflict between Shepchenko and Grant, and the other eye-catching news is the news of some players within Chelsea.

The biggest news of the players within Chelsea, apart from Shepchenko, is from Joe Cole, who has been injured, and this time the club officially announced that Joe Cole will miss the rest of the month due to injury.

Joe Cole has been injured this season.

In the warm-up game in the United States, Joe Cole suffered a knee ligament injury, so he missed a lot of games, his injury has been treated intermittently, occasionally training with the team, but it didn't take long to go to treatment again, and it went on and on, the last time he played against West Ham United, Joe Cole felt pain after the game, and then he went to treatment again, and he hasn't been in the team's training until now, and it looks like this time the injury has become quite serious.

With the exception of Joe Cole, the media coverage was almost exclusively about Shepchenko and Grant.

But soon a new round of reports about Zhang Tiehan came out because he was not voted European Player of the Year.

The competition was initiated by Sportske-Novosti, Croatia's leading sports newspaper, which invited ten of Europe's top football coaches as judges to vote on the candidates. Among the judges were Real Madrid's Fabio Capello, Bayern's Magath, AC Milan's Carlo Ancelotti, Inter Milan's Roberto Mancini and Dutch national team coach Basten.

This is the sixth consecutive year that the newspaper has organized famous coaches to launch the European Footballer of the Year, and interestingly, the choice of famous coaches always seems to be different from the public, last year's FIFA World Footballer of the Year was Ronaldinho, the runner-up was Zhang Tiehan, and the third runner-up was Frank Lampard, who was in the limelight at the time, and in the selection of European coaches, last year's first place was Frank Lampard instead of Ronaldo or Zhang Tiehan.

The same is true for this year's selection.

Not long ago, Zhang Tiehan just won the European Goal Award, but he was not selected as the best player in Europe. On the contrary, in the recent European Ballon d'Or selection, Henry, who was not selected, did not even enter the top three of FIFA's annual World Footballer of the Year, but in a selection of many top European coaches, he overwhelmed Zhang Tiehan, Ronaldinho and Cannavaro to become the best player in Europe.

In the judging. The 29-year-old is in first place with 37 points, followed by Ronaldinho with 28 points and Cannavaro with 24 points, and Zhang Tiehan is fourth with only 16 points.

Although many media and fans are noncommittal about this award, Zhang Tiehan still has to ask for an explanation, many fans regard 2006 as the 'Year of Zhang Tiehan', you can imagine how good Zhang Tiehan's performance is, in the national team, in the club, in the league, in the Champions League. Zhang Tiehan's watch can be described as perfect.

"Apparently these 'world managers' only took this award as a consolation for the failure of other awards, and Henry won the best player." Some media commented mockingly.

Some media also came to Chelsea for interviews, wanting to ask Zhang Tiehan what he thought about the defeat.

However, they could not find Zhang Tiehan, in fact, Zhang Tiehan was in Abramovich's estate at this time.

There have been many media reports about the conflict between Shepchenko and Grant, but even many Chelsea players do not know the specifics of this aspect, after all, the only person who can decide the problem between the two is one person - club president Roman Abramovich. Abramovich supported Grant, and Shepchenko had no choice but to leave. On the contrary, it is Grant who naturally leaves.

At this time, Abramovich was in the manor in London, sharing dinner with Zhang Tiehan.

After the match with Arsenal, Abramovich specially invited Zhang Tiehan to come, and he also brought Lola with him. Lola and Abramovich's wife, Elena, were chatting about women, while Abumovich was talking to Zhang Tiehan.

This is the first time the two have had dinner together in private.

Abramovich asked about Zhang Tiehan's recent life, and talked about his marriage to Lola, as well as about gifts. "Zhang, I will prepare a wedding gift for you, I hope you like it."

"What gift?" Zhang Tiehan asked with interest.

"Confidentiality."

Abramovich joked with a silencing gesture with his fingers, and as he said he quickly shifted the subject back to the team, "Zhang, what do you think of Grant?" ”

"Grant? It's ok."

Zhang Tiehan hesitated and said, he knew what Abramovich meant, that is, he was asking what he thought of Grant, and it was likely that his statement would affect Abramovich's decision, so Zhang Tiehan still decided to remain neutral.

"I think it's okay, but Andre is okay too," he said.

Abramovich just looked at Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan shook his head, "Grant is the coach, and I have a good relationship with Andre, I don't want to get involved." ”

'But you know it's going to affect the team. I don't believe in that Israeli, but so far the team's results are good."

Zhang Tiehan still shook his head, but he looked directly at Abramovich, "You have already made a decision, haven't you?" You asked me just to make sure, but I don't want to offer anything. ”

Abramovich was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

He pointed at Zhang Tiehan and said, "Everyone else told me, Zhang, you" He hesitated, but finally didn't say it, but instead said, "I think you are very smart, you can actually know my thoughts." ”

Zhang Tiehan smiled bitterly.

He naturally knows what Abramovich is talking about, his face and expression are too deceptive, many people know him, and they will feel that he is an honest person, and an honest person is a good description, but on the other hand, it is definitely not close to being smart.

But the important thing is that he really doesn't want to meddle in this matter, and he doesn't want to say anything.

He's just a player, no matter how famous he is, he's still a player, and he knows that very well, so even if he has the ability, he won't do things that he shouldn't do.

Whether it's Grant or Shepchenko, he doesn't want to let the two of them leave because of his words, even if it's a foregone conclusion, it's still true.

But the next topic of Abramovich always involves the coaching of the team, such as who to let take over the team, etc., Zhang Tiehan just listened carefully, and he couldn't say anything at all in this regard-

Weakly ask for a few recommendation votes - (to be continued......)
